nst update from mommy

while kayleigh sleeps...lol.
so went in yesterday for the weekly nst - and for whatever reason her hr was a little too high (they like bt 110 and 160 - her baseline was around 170 with spikes up to 185) so they left us on the monitor for an hour, then did a biophysical profile. her hr did start to come down a little bit but was still baseline around 165-170ish. BPP (u/s to check baby and bloodflow) was normal but since her hr was up they sent us down to triage for more monitoring and to see if they could figure out why (triage @ WBH is like a small ER for maternity or female stuff only). by the time they got us on the monitor down there her hr was down to a baseline of 155-160ish but now she wasn't moving as much as they wanted to see.....
SO.... they left us on the monitor for about 3 hrs till she started moving a little more - did labs (all normal, no pre-e yet, no infection causing her hr to be up) and were starting to talk about admitting us for observation and possibly induction (depending on what they found) but when she started moving around more, since the labs were all okay, they sent us home.
they did say that now i'll prly end up doing nst's 2x wk (at least have to do 2 this wk after that is up to my drs) and will have even more close monitoring till she comes.....but for now she's staying put.
other than that i think thats it.....till mon when i can call and get that other nst scheduled and then drs appt tues am.....
